Henri-Edmond Cross Palette 13
Shadowed Tawny
Shadowed Low-key - values weighted toward shadow, the palette of dim interiors and overcast skies.
Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
Henri-Edmond Cross distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Temperature is balanced: the palette pits warm earth against cool sky without declaring a winner. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #AF6442 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.7%). A value spread of 59 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. In the context of Henri-Edmond Cross's full range of palettes, group 13 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
